One problem related to starter has been reported for the 2018 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2018 Ford Explorer based on all problems reported for the 2018 Explorer.
The car sat for 7 days (we are retired) and the starter button did not respond on the first two tries to start engine. It happened on two occasions. If left at an airport, we might have been stranded. I believe the cause is the high current drain for the wifi and other electronics going on. The dealer said to check battery. The problem does not occur unless the car is unused for a number of days.
